| Comments: |
****BEES NEST**** on Ethan Pond trail about 0.2 before junction with Kendron Flume trail, they are nasty, they chase you and sting! White faced/Bald faced hornets. There is a note in the trail if you are heading towards Ethan Pond/Mt. Willey.....those coming from the pond/Mt. Willey find out the hard way.
Besides the bees, this was a great loop, saw lots of AT hikers making their way north/south. Didn't see anyone on other trails. Bridge on Thoreau Falls trail is still there (1 person at a time going over it) |
